Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Oxford Valley could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Oxford Valley, here you come:

• 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 queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, 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), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
