We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Bristow before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial 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 hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bristow before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
