Flights to Moree, Centre-Loire Valley from NT$40,011

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips that will get your Moree vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Moree before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
