Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Ligny-en-Brionnais vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

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 your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ligny-en-Brionnais in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
