Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Murs-et-Gelignieux vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Murs-et-Gelignieux easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
