Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Baker City could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Baker City in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
