Flights to Upavon, Pewsey from NT$36,275

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Upavon vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Upavon, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
