We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Concord in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. 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.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Concord in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
