Flights to Beaujeu, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes from NT$10,678

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Beaujeu escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. 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 your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Beaujeu, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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 luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style 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, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
