Flights to Fao, Esposende from NT$5,725

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Fao could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Fao in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
