Flights to Fougere, Pays de la Loire from NT$35,490

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Fougere vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Fougere quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
