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

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Escalo, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
