Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tautira could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Tautira, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
