Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Javan could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries 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 prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Javan a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
