No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Milon-la-Chapelle escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Milon-la-Chapelle in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
