We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Vagharshapat before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Vagharshapat quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
