We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Tarcal before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tarcal in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
