Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Babina could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel 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 be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Babina, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• 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.
