If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Le Touquet-Paris-Plage easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
