Flights to Praez, Cazis from NT$20,255

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Praez could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer 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 starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks can also help.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Praez, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
