Flights to Royal Davui Island, Central Division from NT$14,575

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Royal Davui Island vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans 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:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Royal Davui Island in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
