We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Sitra before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sitra before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
