Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bolton Le Sands could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bolton Le Sands in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
