Flights to Ban-de-Sapt, Grand Est from NT$11,267

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Ban-de-Sapt vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Ban-de-Sapt a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
