We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Great Eccleston in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

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

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
