Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Nocaima could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Nocaima a breeze. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
