If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your vacation in Saint-Antonin Noble Val. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Saint-Antonin Noble Val easy and painless. Read through our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
