Flights to Tome, Los Lunas from NT$9,841

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tome could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tome in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, 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 it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
