Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Vitrolles could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Vitrolles a breeze. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, 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), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
