Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Entraunes could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Entraunes a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
