We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Brookridge in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Brookridge in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
