If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your vacation in Saint-Pantaleon. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Saint-Pantaleon in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, 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), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
