Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Rubiales could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Rubiales quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets 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 in no time.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
