Flights to Sea Ranch, New Territories from NT$3,521

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Sea Ranch in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Sea Ranch easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
