Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Union Springs could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Union Springs quick and painless. Check out our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
