Flights to Coulommiers, Île-de-France from NT$2,985

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Coulommiers vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Coulommiers, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
