Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Accokeek could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Accokeek before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
