No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips that will get your Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy --- first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The answer is simple --- be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
