Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Moofushi Island could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Moofushi Island in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
