We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Central Village in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Central Village in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
