Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ibigawa could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• The result of 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 ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Ibigawa, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
