Flights to Ile Sainte-Marguerite, Cannes from NT$3,033

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Ile Sainte-Marguerite escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Ile Sainte-Marguerite, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
