Flights to Aujols, Occitanie from NT$5,300

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Aujols escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Aujols easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
