Flights to Price, Church Hill from NT$24,821

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Price escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Price, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
