Flights to Belkis, Serik from NT$5,334

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Belkis. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Belkis in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
