We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Hirst in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hirst in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
