Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ewyas Harold could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Ewyas Harold a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
