We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Seabrook in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Seabrook in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
