Flights to Panjas, Occitanie from NT$6,431

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Panjas could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Panjas, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
