Flights to Galliano, Louisiana from NT$7,772

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Galliano could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Galliano easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
