Flights to Jannusan, Northern Governorate from NT$15,014

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Jannusan escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Jannusan a breeze. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
