Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Oyarifa could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Oyarifa a breeze. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
