Do you have any tips for my flight to Angoulême?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Angoulême could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Angoulême?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Angoulême easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
