Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Puthenthope could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Puthenthope in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
