Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Calanas could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel 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 pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

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

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
