Flights to Uncertain, Karnack from NT$46,342

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Uncertain escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Uncertain a pleasure. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
