Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bigfoot could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Bigfoot, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
