If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Le Carbet. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Le Carbet, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
