We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Chatsworth in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Chatsworth in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
