Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Le Pin could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Le Pin, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
