Flights to Levelay, Nanteau-sur-Lunain from NT$2,788

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Levelay escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Levelay in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
