Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Crecy-la-Chapelle escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave 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) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Crecy-la-Chapelle, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, 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 minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
