We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Brightlingsea before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Brightlingsea, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
