Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ossimo could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints 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 cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a cardigan just in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ossimo, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
