We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Loiu in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Loiu a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
