We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Newton in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul 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 tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Newton a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
