We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Fårö in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Fårö in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
