Flights to Gouarec, Brittany from NT$7,315

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Gouarec vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Gouarec a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
