Flights to Onset, East Wareham from NT$25,120

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Onset escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

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

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, 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 coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. 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 safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
