Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Claygate could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing 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 airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Claygate a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
