Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Alrick could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Alrick a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
