Flights to Quota, Poppi from NT$8,753

If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your getaway in Quota. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, 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. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Quota, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
