We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Punalur in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Punalur before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
