Flights to Achouffe, Houffalize from NT$8,321

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Achouffe.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying 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 walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Achouffe, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
