Flights to Le Massegros, Massegros Causses Gorges from NT$14,534

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Le Massegros could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Le Massegros a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
