Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Koutourla could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Koutourla in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's 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 on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
