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

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Wallingford, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
