Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to LaPorte could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out LaPorte, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), 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 additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
