Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Samaxi could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Samaxi easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
