Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lackamore could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Lackamore easy and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
