Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Spilsby could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Spilsby in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
