Flights to Lignol, Brittany from

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Lignol.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple --- be organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Lignol, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
