If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Cazenave-Serres-et-Allens. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers 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 luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Cazenave-Serres-et-Allens in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
