Flights to Corwin Springs, Gardiner from NT$6,250

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Corwin Springs could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Corwin Springs in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
