Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
