Flights to Athis-Mons, Paris from NT$13,267

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Athis-Mons could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Athis-Mons a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
