Flights to Ramot, Northern District from NT$9,850

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Ramot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ramot in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
