Flights to Falmagne, Dinant from NT$8,363

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your time in Falmagne.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Falmagne in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
