Flights to Maharepa, Moorea-Maiao from NT$17,975

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Maharepa could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Maharepa in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
