No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy hints that will get your Westford escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Westford quick and painless. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
