Flights to Munxar, Gozo Region from NT$4,108

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Munxar.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Munxar, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
