Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Thomasville could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Thomasville before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
