Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pembroke could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Pembroke easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
