Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Lutterworth escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lutterworth in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
