Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ma'alot - Tarshiha could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ma'alot - Tarshiha in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
