Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Four Corners could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Four Corners, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
