Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tiraspol could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

The answer is simple --- be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Tiraspol, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume 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), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
