Flights to Airion, Hauts-de-France from NT$10,887

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Airion could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Airion, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? 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, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
