Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Strand could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Strand before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
