Flights to Aast, Nouvelle-Aquitaine from NT$36,857

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Aast vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Aast a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
