Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Woodhaven could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Woodhaven a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
