• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Jesmond Dene, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
