If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Les-Trois-Moutiers.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Les-Trois-Moutiers in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
