• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Mount Garnet quick and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
