Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hangnaameedhoo could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel 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 flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

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

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
