Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Stockmatt could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Stockmatt before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
