Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Duffield could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Duffield before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
