Flights to Mionnay, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes from NT$6,742

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Mionnay.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Mionnay a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
