Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Chateauroux vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Chateauroux, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
