Flights to Moloto, Thembisile from NT$22,701

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

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Moloto easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
