Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Carville could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Carville quick and painless. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
