Flights to Ngarama, East Province from NT$31,598

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Ngarama vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ngarama in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
