Flights to Bouges-le-Chateau, Centre-Loire Valley from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bouges-le-Chateau could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bouges-le-Chateau before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock 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 other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
