We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Wyboston in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Wyboston quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
