We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in St. Mawes before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to St. Mawes easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
