We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Chesterfield in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Chesterfield a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
