Flights to Temba, Johannesburg from NT$5,183

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Temba could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Temba in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever 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 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 safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
