Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Larrasoaña could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Larrasoañan a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need 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, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
