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

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Kiserian, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
