We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Peninsula in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Peninsula a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
