We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Point Lonsdale in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Point Lonsdale, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
