Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Saignon vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Saignon, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
