Flights to Puget-Rostang, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from NT$3,130

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Puget-Rostang vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Puget-Rostang, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the 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.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
