Flights to Foiana, Lana from NT$39,350

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Foiana could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Foiana in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. 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 heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
