Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lost River could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Lost River, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
