Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Notchland could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Notchland easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
