Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Barbers Point Housing could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Barbers Point Housing, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
