Flights to Le Trayas, Saint-Raphael from NT$2,999

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Le Trayas.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Le Trayas, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
