Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sobotka could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Sobotka a breeze. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
