• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Orthez quick and painless. We’ve compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There’s a chance you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
