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

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Pike quick and painless. Check out our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
