We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Whale Cove in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whale Cove?

The secret is to be organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Whale Cove in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
