We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Le Taillan-Medoc in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Le Taillan-Medoc a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
