• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Hunting Caye quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
