Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ossana could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Ossana, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
