We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Alfreton in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Alfreton a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
