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

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Antsirabe a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, 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 technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
