Flights to Polomolok, Soccsksargen from NT$2,423

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Polomolok could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Polomolok, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
