Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Coahoma could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave 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) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Coahoma easy and painless. Check out our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
