Flights to Kiryat HaYovel, Jerusalem from NT$16,481

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Kiryat HaYovel escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Kiryat HaYovel, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
