Flights to Castagniers, Nice from NT$3,098

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Castagniers could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Castagniers a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is 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 on board.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
