Flights to Monbahus, Nouvelle-Aquitaine from

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your getaway in Monbahus. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Monbahus before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
