Flights to Rustic, Bellvue from NT$5,080

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rustic could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Rustic a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
