Flights to Monsegur, Nouvelle-Aquitaine from NT$25,895

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Monsegur could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Monsegur in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
