Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Polton holiday started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit 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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Polton in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
