Flights to Montpellier, Quebec from NT$20,362

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Montpellier before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Montpellier in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
