We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Poole in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Poole in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
