Flights to Brinklow, Brookeville from NT$7,042

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Brinklow vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Brinklow a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
