Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Big Creek could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Big Creek, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
