We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Sturbridge in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Sturbridge easy and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt 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 tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
