We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Barnes before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Barnes in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
