Flights to Breuil-Barret, Pays de la Loire from NT$7,335

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Breuil-Barret could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Breuil-Barret in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
