Flights to Le Martinet, Occitanie from NT$3,600

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Le Martinet vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Le Martinet in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra 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 in the cabin.
