Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kaster could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kaster in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
