Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Roissy-en-France vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Roissy-en-France quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
