Flights to Fort Beaufort, Nkonkobe from NT$31,600

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Fort Beaufort vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a jacket in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Fort Beaufort in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
