We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Maraba in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Maraba, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
