Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Alangalang could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Alangalang, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
