Flights to Saint-Auban-sur-L'Ouveze, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes from NT$9,243

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your getaway in Saint-Auban-sur-L'Ouveze. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Saint-Auban-sur-L'Ouveze easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
