We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Gigondas in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets 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, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Gigondas in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
