Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Espeluche could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Espeluche in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
