Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Summerstrand could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you’ve got all the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Summerstrand in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
