We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Silly-le-Long in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Silly-le-Long a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. 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 coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
