Flights to Mauriceville, Orange from NT$36,701

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Mauriceville escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Mauriceville easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
