Flights to Evaton, Gauteng from NT$17,670

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Evaton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Evaton in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
