Flights to Meira, Moana from NT$2,616

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will get your Meira vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Meira, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
