We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Orleans in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Orleans in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
