We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Ecuelles in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Ecuelles easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually 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, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
