Flights to Barneau, Soignolles-en-Brie from NT$6,804

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Barneau.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Barneau, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
