Flights to Dundonnell, Garve from NT$6,785

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Dundonnell.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Dundonnell a pleasure. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or 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.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
