Flights to Las Tunas, Salango from NT$58,923

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Las Tunas could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Las Tunas, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that 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 your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
