We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Saint-Ours in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean 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 baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Saint-Ours a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional 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 on board and will be confiscated.
