Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Livo could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Livo, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
