Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Montaigut-sur-Save could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Montaigut-sur-Save quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often 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-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
