We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Tapukara in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted 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 layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tapukara in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
