Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Wyberton escape started on the right foot. 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 essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance 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 tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Wyberton, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
