Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Beit Oren could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Beit Oren quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
