Flights to Sartene, Corsica from NT$15,128

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sartene could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sartene in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
