Flights to Richards Landing, St. Joseph from NT$11,081

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Richards Landing.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Richards Landing in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
