Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Middleton could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Middleton in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
