Flights to Mollégès, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from NT$19,663

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mollégès could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Mollégès quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all 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 passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
