Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Ste Petronille vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Ste Petronille, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
