Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Saint-Didace could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Saint-Didace quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
