Flights to Sougeal, Brittany from NT$10,307

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Sougeal vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

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 prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Sougeal quick and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
