We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Portugal Cove - St. Philips before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items 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 a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Portugal Cove - St. Philips a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
