We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Hydesville in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Hydesville a pleasure. Here are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
