We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Long Bay in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Long Bay before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
