Flights to Menton, Monaco from NT$3,614

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Menton.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Menton, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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 baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
