Flights to Nerga, Cangas from NT$40,463

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Nerga vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Nerga, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
