Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Organya could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

The trick is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Organya in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
