Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Ector could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Ector, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart 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 in the cabin.
