Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Jublains could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Jublains a piece of cake. Check out our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
