We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Chapa Bas in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Chapa Bas easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
