We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Falmouth in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Falmouth, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
