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

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Woodside in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
