Flights to Valaire, Centre-Loire Valley from

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Valaire.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Valaire a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
