Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Grace Bay could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of 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.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Grace Bay a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often 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 in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
