Flights to Charnizay, Centre-Loire Valley from NT$53,300

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Charnizay could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Charnizay, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
