Flights to Fayet, Hauts-de-France from NT$19,906

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your vacation in Fayet. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fayet in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
