Flights to Becherel, Brittany from NT$3,001

If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your vacation in Becherel. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The trick is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Becherel in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
