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

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Botumoito a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
