Flights to Le Juch, Brittany from NT$37,874

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your time in Le Juch. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Le Juch quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. 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 your coat or jacket. 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 separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
