Flights to De Kelders, Western Cape from NT$6,127

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in De Kelders.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out De Kelders, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without 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 clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
