Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dolomite could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Dolomite, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
