Flights to Saint-Joseph, Arrondissement of Saint-Pierre from NT$36,419

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Saint-Joseph could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Saint-Joseph in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
