Cheap Flights to Bourg-Madame

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Bourg-Madame vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Bourg-Madame, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
