Flights to Chateau-Renault, Centre-Loire Valley from

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Chateau-Renault could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chateau-Renault in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
