Flights to Hammana, Beirut from NT$16,959

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hammana could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, 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:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Hammana, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
