Flights to Martigne-Ferchaud, Brittany from NT$11,468

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips that will get your Martigne-Ferchaud escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Martigne-Ferchaud in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
