Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Valleyford could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful 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 stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Valleyford, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, 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 earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
