Flights to Annot, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from NT$3,976

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Annot could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray 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 precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Annot, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
