Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Detva could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful 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 an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Detva quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
