Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Hardecourt-aux-Bois vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items 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 a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hardecourt-aux-Bois in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
