If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in Bagnoles-de-l'Orne.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bagnoles-de-l'Orne in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
