Flights to El Jadida, Casablanca-Settat from NT$20,342

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your El Jadida vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to El Jadida a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
