Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sebastian could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Sebastian, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? 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 OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
