Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ambivere could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Ambivere easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
