We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Larchant in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. 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 a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Larchant before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
