We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Shishi in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Shishi a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
