Flights to Napow, Shefa from NT$24,855

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Napow vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Napow in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
