Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Manitou could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Manitou, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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 baggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
