Flights to Genos, Occitanie from NT$9,081

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Genos could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Genos, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
