Flights to Paris, Ohio from NT$12,436

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Paris vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave 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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Paris a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
