Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Vankleek Hill could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs 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) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Vankleek Hill a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
