Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Neuferchau could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Neuferchau in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
