We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Nan in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nan in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume or 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're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
