Flights to Tass, Bacs-Kiskun from NT$5,933

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Tass. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tass in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, 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 such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, 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), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
