Flights to Dabo, Grand Est from NT$4,946

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Dabo in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Dabo in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
