Flights to Gueltas, Brittany from NT$6,437

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Gueltas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Gueltas, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
