Flights to Bize-Minervois, Occitanie from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Bize-Minervois escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Bize-Minervois quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily 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 things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? 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, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
