We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Hexham in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hexham in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often 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 in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
