Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gabarret could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Gabarret, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
