We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Mentone before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Mentone quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
