Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pournos could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Pournos a pleasure. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
