Flights to Carros, Nice from NT$2,434

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your time in Carros. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Carros, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
