We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Nogent-le-Rotrou in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers 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 rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Nogent-le-Rotrou quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
