Flights to Mbiza, Eshowe from NT$37,007

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Mbiza in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Mbiza a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
