Flights to Aghir, Medenine Governorate from NT$9,568

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Aghir vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Aghir in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
