Flights to Geu, Occitanie from NT$23,321

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Geu escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag 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 aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul 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.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Geu in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• 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.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
