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

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Cumra, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, 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 liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
