We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Victoria in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Victoria, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring 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), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
