Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gingins could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

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

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
