Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Matoury could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Matoury, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
