We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Consett in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Consett, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
