Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cyabakamyi could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Cyabakamyi, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring 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), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
