Flights to Corneuil, Chambois from NT$22,838

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Corneuil escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Corneuil, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
