Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Byureghavan could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Byureghavan, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
