Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Les Eboulements escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Les Eboulements a breeze. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
