Flights to Brain-sur-Allonnes, Pays de la Loire from

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Brain-sur-Allonnes could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Brain-sur-Allonnes quick and painless. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
