• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Newton-le-Willows, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
