Flights to Velta, Asnes from NT$5,919

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Velta. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Velta in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
