Flights to Gannon Village, Selwyn from NT$3,875

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gannon Village could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here 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:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Gannon Village a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
