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 cruising through the airport and enjoying Hook in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Hook a breeze. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be 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 several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
