Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Itaoca could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel 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 hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Itaoca, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
