Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Karnobat could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Karnobat in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
