Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Pont-Remy vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Pont-Remy in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
