Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Selters could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Selters in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
