Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Belford could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Belford a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
