We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Wayland before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Wayland before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, 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), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
