Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Yvoy-le-Marron could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, 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 number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Yvoy-le-Marron a breeze. Read through our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
