Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Bayeux vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Bayeux a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
