Flights to Ewenny, Cardiff from NT$8,572

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Ewenny vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Ewenny, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No 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, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
