We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Barham in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Barham in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
