Flights to Luzech, Occitanie from NT$24,850

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

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant 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 to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Luzech a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
