Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to De Ruyter could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out De Ruyter, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
