Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Savigny escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, 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:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Savigny, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. 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, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
