We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Aire-sur-la-Lys before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Aire-sur-la-Lys a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
