Flights to Kasustu, Yomra from NT$15,890

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Kasustu escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Kasustu, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• 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 be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
