Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kraa could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Kraa quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be 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 great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
