We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Lakeside in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding 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 liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lakeside in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
