We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Contamine-sur-Arve in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Contamine-sur-Arve easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
