If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Pusy-et-Épenoux.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pusy-et-Épenoux in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
