Flights to Saint-Laurent-sous-Coiron, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes from NT$7,788

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Saint-Laurent-sous-Coiron vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Saint-Laurent-sous-Coiron before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
