Flights to Rudge, Frome from NT$2,525

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Rudge. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

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

• 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 ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
