We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Vincennes in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Vincennes a piece of cake. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible 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 items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
