No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy hints that will get your Camaret-sur-Mer escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Camaret-sur-Mer quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
