Flights to Mollégès, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from NT$3,301

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mollégès could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mollégès before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
