First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Big Bend?

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Big Bend, here you come:

First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
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 single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
