Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Abergavenny could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a quality 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 sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Abergavenny, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
