Flights to Sannai, Kamoenai from NT$3,780

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Sannai escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sannai in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
