We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Lamotte-Beuvron in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Lamotte-Beuvron, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
