Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to The Dawn could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out The Dawn, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
