No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Bourrouillan vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Bourrouillan, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
