Flights to Manso, Corsica from NT$42,104

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Manso could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Manso, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
