Flights to Lusiana, Lusiana Conco from NT$7,276

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your time in Lusiana.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lusiana before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort 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 easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
