Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Caribou could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Caribou easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
