Flights to Dirol, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté from

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Dirol. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Dirol a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
