Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Divonne-les-Bains could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Divonne-les-Bains before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
