We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Severac-le-Chateau in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Severac-le-Chateau a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• 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 trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
