We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Pontassieve in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Pontassieve a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, 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 or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
