Flights to Lakeport, Moore Haven from NT$13,094

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 get your Lakeport escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Lakeport, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
