We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Cross Lanes in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Cross Lanes a piece of cake. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
