We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Otara before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Otara a breeze. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
