Cheap Flights to La Valette-du-Var

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your La Valette-du-Var holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and take a jacket in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to La Valette-du-Var before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. 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 minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
