Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pascagoula could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Pascagoula a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
