We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Silver Plume before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember 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 sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Silver Plume, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
