Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kousba could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Kousba, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
