Flights to Croissy-sur-Seine, Île-de-France from NT$3,476

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Croissy-sur-Seine could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Croissy-sur-Seine easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
