Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pelham could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Pelham a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
