We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Arles in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Arles in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
