Flights to Decs, Tolna County from NT$6,239

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Decs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Decs in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
