We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Perouges in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Perouges, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
