We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Newcastle-Under-Lyme in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Newcastle-Under-Lyme, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
