Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to El Atteuf could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to El Atteuf before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
