Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve made a list of handy tips that will get your Lancaster escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you’ve got all the right things. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Lancaster, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There’s a chance you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
