Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sabana Westpunt could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Sabana Westpunt, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
