If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in La Cluse-and-Mijoux.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out La Cluse-and-Mijoux, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
