Flights to Sorpe, Alt Aneu from NT$19,387

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Sorpe. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sorpe in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
