Flights to Epinay-sur-Seine, Paris from NT$2,579

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Epinay-sur-Seine could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Epinay-sur-Seine in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
