Flights to Narra, Mimaropa from NT$1,380

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Narra could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Narra quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
