Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pombia 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 big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Pombia a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
