Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Paternoster could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Paternoster in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
