Flights to Jorpeland, Strand from NT$8,659

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Jorpeland escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Jorpeland, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
