Flights to Lamina, Ruente from NT$95,974

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

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Lamina, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
