Flights to Avon, Île-de-France from NT$2,788

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Avon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Avon easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? 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 clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
