Flights to Saint-Peran, Brittany from NT$10,228

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Saint-Peran. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Saint-Peran a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
