We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Whitehaven in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Whitehaven easy and painless. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
