Flights to Grigny, Île-de-France from NT$2,589

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Grigny could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm 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 aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Grigny, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
