Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Saint Meinrad could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

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 carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Saint Meinrad, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
