Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Incekum could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Incekum in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
