Flights to Oualidia, Casablanca-Settat from NT$20,321

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Oualidia escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Oualidia in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Have your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
