Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Upper Sundon escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. 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:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, 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 trip to Upper Sundon quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
