• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Crystal Creek in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
