• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sukawati in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
