• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Freeport in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
