We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Kalibaru in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kalibaru before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
