If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Bruyeres-sur-Oise.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bruyeres-sur-Oise before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
