Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Feltham could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Feltham quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
