Flights to Viscos, Occitanie from NT$29,205

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Viscos.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Viscos a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
