We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying La Riviere before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to La Riviere in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
