Flights to Tramayes, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté from NT$9,368

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Tramayes escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Tramayes a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
