Flights to Bethany, Cavan-Monaghan from NT$3,875

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your time in Bethany. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Bethany, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
