We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Windsor in no time flat.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Windsor, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
