We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying French Lick before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting 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 promote better circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to French Lick in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
