We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Oxford in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable 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:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Oxford, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items 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 devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
