We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Sost in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sost in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
