Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Siren could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Siren a breeze. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
