We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Trakai in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Trakai quick and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
