If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Vignieu. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Vignieu, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
