Flights to Aranga, Northland from NT$35,405

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your time in Aranga.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Aranga quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
