Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lugait could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Lugait a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
