Flights to Melton, Woodbridge from NT$25,331

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Melton.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Melton quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
