Flights to Colonial District, Singapore from NT$3,161

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Colonial District.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Colonial District a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• 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.
