Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Chateau-Arnoux-Saint-Auban escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Chateau-Arnoux-Saint-Auban, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
