Flights to Wikkye, Hapcheon from NT$5,527

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your vacation in Wikkye.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Wikkye a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
