Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Fontcouverte-la-Toussuire escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Fontcouverte-la-Toussuire, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
