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

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Gazzelli a breeze. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
