Flights to Keiss, Wick from NT$37,763

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Keiss escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Keiss a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• 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. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
