We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Barriere before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Barriere in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
