Flights to Tamarout, Zagmouzen from NT$11,010

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Tamarout escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Tamarout, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, 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). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
