Flights to Weybourne, Holt from NT$43,401

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Weybourne.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Weybourne, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
