If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Bodufushi Island. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Bodufushi Island quick and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. 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 minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
