Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Khirbat Ra's al Madinah could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Khirbat Ra's al Madinah, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots 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.
