Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Brookfield could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Brookfield, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
