Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pontchateau could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Pontchateau a piece of cake. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
