Flights to Moira, Swadlincote from NT$2,809

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Moira vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Moira in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
