We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of La Condamine-Chatelard before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out La Condamine-Chatelard, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
