No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Montagnac-Montpezat escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Montagnac-Montpezat in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices 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 perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
