Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Popanyinning could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Popanyinning quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
