Flights to Montlivault, Centre-Loire Valley from

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Montlivault. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Montlivault in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
