Flights to Saint-Jean-de-la-Motte, Pays de la Loire from NT$29,440

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Saint-Jean-de-la-Motte could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

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

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Saint-Jean-de-la-Motte a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise 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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
