Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gideon could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gideon in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
