Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Story could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled 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 great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

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 or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Story, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
