Flights to Barcelonne-du-Gers, Occitanie from

If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in Barcelonne-du-Gers. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Barcelonne-du-Gers easy and painless. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items 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 tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
