Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mannervaara could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mannervaara in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be 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 good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
