Flights to Reotier, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur from NT$3,037

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Reotier vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Reotier a piece of cake. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
