We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Plailly in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Plailly, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
