Flights to Bedoin, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from NT$93,683

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Bedoin.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Bedoin a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
