Cheap Flights to Versailles

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Versailles in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Versailles a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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.
