We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Pelham in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential 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 socks or tights.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pelham in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
