Flights to Souzy, Lyon from NT$4,836

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Souzy.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

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

• Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
