Flights to Flins-sur-Seine, Île-de-France from NT$2,353

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Flins-sur-Seine could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Flins-sur-Seine in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
