Flights to La Guadeloupe, Quebec from NT$12,049

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to La Guadeloupe could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to 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 quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to La Guadeloupe a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
