We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Grand Chenier before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Grand Chenier, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
