Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bertioga could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable 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 a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Bertioga, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
