Flights to Orange, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from NT$2,469

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Orange vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Orange easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. 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 phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
