Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Saint-Yzans-de-Medoc vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Saint-Yzans-de-Medoc a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
