If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Carrieres-sous-Poissy.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Carrieres-sous-Poissy, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
