We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Consett in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Consett before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
