Flights to Le Fugeret, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from NT$3,629

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Le Fugeret.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Le Fugeret a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
