We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Northport in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a cosy 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:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Northport quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
