Flights to Russan, Sainte-Anastasie from NT$29,082

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

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Russan, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible 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 your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
