We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Milford in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols 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:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Milford easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
