We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Aguergour in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Aguergour in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
