Flights to Tabaqat Fahl, Irbid Governorate from NT$17,820

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Tabaqat Fahl.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Tabaqat Fahl a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
