Flights to Beautiran, Bordeaux from NT$12,901

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Beautiran could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Beautiran a breeze. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
