If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Ambares-et-Lagrave.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents 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 in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Ambares-et-Lagrave, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
