Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Ugine vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Ugine quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
