Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Semlin could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Semlin quick and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
