Flights to Chanay, Beirut from NT$10,767

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Chanay escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chanay in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
