We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Agen in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Agen quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
