Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tagamanent could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a 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 banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tagamanent in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
