Flights to Orbey, Grand Est from NT$5,985

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Orbey could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Orbey easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
