Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Ohio could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Ohio, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• 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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
