Flights to Alles, Penamellera Alta from NT$47,874

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Alles escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Alles quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
