We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Medford before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring 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 Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Medford easy and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
