Flights to Korotogo, Western Division from NT$5,408

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Korotogo could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs 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 rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Korotogo before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
