Flights to St-Andre-de-l'Eure, Normandy from NT$2,520

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your St-Andre-de-l'Eure vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to St-Andre-de-l'Eure quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
