Flights to Chase, Middle River from NT$13,325

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Chase vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Chase a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. 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 bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
