Flights to Crone, Idro from NT$22,031

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Crone. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Crone in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
