Flights to Courgenay, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté from NT$2,767

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Courgenay vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Courgenay a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
