We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Newcastle before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Newcastle a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
