Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Marcillac could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Marcillac, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
