We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Durand in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Durand in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
