Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to La Punt-Chamues-ch 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 big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to La Punt-Chamues-ch in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
