If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Kihaadhuffaru Island. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Kihaadhuffaru Island a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
