Flights to Selma, Calanca from NT$26,613

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Selma could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Selma, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
