We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Charing in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Charing in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
