Flights to Beauvezer, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from NT$3,612

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Beauvezer before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved 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:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Beauvezer in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
