Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mornac-sur-Seudre could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Mornac-sur-Seudre quick and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No 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 keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
