We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Galaha in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Galaha, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
