Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Carlisle escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Carlisle a breeze. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
