Flights to Rungis, Paris from NT$18,460

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your time in Rungis. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Rungis a pleasure. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
