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

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Cudahy, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
