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

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Vermand, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
