We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Prince Albert in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Prince Albert a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
