We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Cannock in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Cannock a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
