Flights to Totolan, Dauis from NT$5,605

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Totolan vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Totolan quick and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
