If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Saint-Mards-en-Othe.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Saint-Mards-en-Othe, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
