Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Alkol could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Alkol, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
