Flights to Foli, Svetvincenat from NT$10,129

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Foli. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Foli, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
