Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hadar could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Hadar, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
