We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Vallorcine before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Vallorcine in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
