Flights to Pant-y-Dwr, Rhayader from NT$28,513

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Pant-y-Dwr escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pant-y-Dwr in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
