We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Sheffield in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sheffield in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
