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

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Palmse in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
