If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Val-Couesnon. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Val-Couesnon, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
