• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Essex in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
