Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Penalba could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Penalba in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
