We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Retz in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality 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 differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Retz a piece of cake. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
