We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Chantonnay in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Chantonnay, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
