Flights to Largeasse, Nouvelle-Aquitaine from NT$16,072

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Largeasse escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Largeasse a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
