If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Jouy-le-Potier. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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 dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Jouy-le-Potier quick and painless. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
