We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Châteaufort in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, 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 should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Châteaufort in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
