If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Manadhoo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Manadhoo, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
