Flights to Antony, Paris from NT$17,285

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Antony.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Antony, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
