Flights to Saint-Jean-les-Deux-Jumeaux, Île-de-France from NT$3,009

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Saint-Jean-les-Deux-Jumeaux could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Saint-Jean-les-Deux-Jumeaux a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
