We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Cornwall in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Cornwall, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
