Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Radi could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Radi, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
