Flights to Tetir, Puerto del Rosario from NT$60,135

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Tetir.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tetir in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
