Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Karapura could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids 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 no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

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

• Have your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume 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 going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
