Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Predore could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Predore a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
