We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Merrivale in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Merrivale quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
