Flights to Neple, Terespol from NT$47,174

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Neple.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Neple in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's 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.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
