Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hell-Bourg could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Hell-Bourg, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
