If you like the idea of spending more time at the airport cafes and less time at the security checkpoint on your way to Caen, just follow these helpful tips:

• Make sure you know the whereabouts of your boarding pass and passport. You don't want to hold up the line when you're asked to hand them over.
• You'll need to stop the music for a few minutes. Earphones and headphones need to be taken off and placed in a tray to be X-rayed. The same goes for items such as keys and coins.
• Electronics such as tablets, laptops and phones are always sent through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure to have them within easy reach.
• Traveling with a favorite cologne? As long as it's no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your hand luggage.
• Steel-cap boots and other bulky shoes are often X-rayed at the security checkpoint. It might be wise to wear simple sneakers instead.
• Stash any multi-tools or other sharp and pointy items in your checked luggage. Airport security won't allow these on the aircraft.
