We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Leigh Creek before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Leigh Creek, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
