We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Ipsden before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Ipsden quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, 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-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
