Flights to Villa, Saint George from NT$13,781

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Villa could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Villa a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
