Flights to Tylerton, Smith Island from NT$38,423

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tylerton could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints 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 worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tylerton in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
