Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Le Tremblay-sur-Mauldre could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Le Tremblay-sur-Mauldre before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, 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.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones 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 bring on board must be no larger 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 to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
