Flights to Montgeron, Île-de-France from NT$2,589

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your vacation in Montgeron.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Montgeron a breeze. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
