We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Vacqueyras in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged 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 trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Vacqueyras in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
