Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Jouy-en-Josas could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Jouy-en-Josas in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. 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.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
