Flights to Tournon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes from

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Tournon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tournon before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're 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 coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
