• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember 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 differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

It’s all about being organized. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Nantes, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
