Flights to Tillmans Corner, Mobile from NT$38,424

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

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Tillmans Corner, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
