Flights to Oye-et-Pallet, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté from NT$9,289

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Oye-et-Pallet escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Oye-et-Pallet a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
