Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Crosshaven 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 great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Crosshaven, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
