• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Chambord a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
