Flights to Hidden Meadows, Escondido from NT$4,169

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Hidden Meadows escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable 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:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hidden Meadows in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
