Flights to Metula, Northern District from NT$9,496

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Metula could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, 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 mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Metula before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• 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.
