Flights to Saint-Leonard-de-Noblat, Nouvelle-Aquitaine from

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Saint-Leonard-de-Noblat escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Saint-Leonard-de-Noblat a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
