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 hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Saint-Affrique in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Saint-Affrique in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
