Flights to Sig, Varde from NT$31,334

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Sig.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Sig easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take 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), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
