We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Vinkeveen in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, 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 main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Vinkeveen before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
