FROM PLANNING AND PACKING TO SURVIVING A NEW TIME ZONE, HERE ARE OUR TOP THREE IDEAS

1 To get the best-priced flights, look at booking three to four months ahead of departure. A techy tip: clearing the cookies on your internet browser when searching and booking flights can help to eliminate price hikes when you revisit a site you’ve looked at before.

2 Compression bags (try the F1 Spacepak) are packing saviours, keeping your suitcase neat and orderly while leaving more room for holiday purchases. Also, rolling trumps folding in the space stakes.

3 Beat your body clock – the Timeshifter app and Jet Lag Rooster website calculate your optimal sleep patterns before and after flying, and include tips to help ease into a new time zone.
