We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Wye before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Wye in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
