We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Luton before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Luton easy and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, 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 shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
