Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Wapella could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Wapella quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
