Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Quint-Fonsegrives escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Quint-Fonsegrives a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
