Flights to Voves, Les Villages Vovéens from NT$2,821

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Voves escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Voves, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
