Flights to Husbands, St. James from NT$46,011

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Husbands. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Husbands a pleasure. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
