We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Mirak in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mirak in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
