Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Golders Green could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Golders Green, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
