Flights to Teavaro, Moorea-Maiao from NT$17,733

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Teavaro could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Teavaro in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
