No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Alvignac vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Alvignac in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
