Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pecan Gap could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also recommended.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Pecan Gap, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
