Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Guia could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Guia in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
