Flights to La Rosiere, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté from NT$11,579

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your La Rosiere vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space 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 restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out La Rosiere, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail 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-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
