Flights to La Chapelle-Montligeon, Normandy from NT$4,105

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to La Chapelle-Montligeon could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out La Chapelle-Montligeon, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
