Flights to Folaha, Tongatapu from NT$12,209

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Folaha could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Folaha in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
