Flights to Bakingili, Southwest from NT$69,600

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

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Bakingili, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, 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. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
