Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Equestrian Woods could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Equestrian Woods, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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 and will be confiscated.
