Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Chiroubles escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Chiroubles a breeze. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• 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 things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
