Flights to Septemes-les-Vallons, Marseille from NT$7,707

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Septemes-les-Vallons escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Septemes-les-Vallons in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
