Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Brighton could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips 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 a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Brighton a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
