We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Hampstead in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Hampstead, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
