Flights to Longdenville, Chaguanas from NT$16,816

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Longdenville escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Longdenville, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must 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 headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring 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 valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
