Flights to Vaux-sur-Aure, Normandy from

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Vaux-sur-Aure.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Vaux-sur-Aure in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
