We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Putney in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Putney a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
