Flights to Granier, Aime-la-Plagne from NT$2,366

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Granier could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The 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 poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Granier a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume 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-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
