Flights to Windmill Point, White Stone from NT$33,969

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Windmill Point vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Windmill Point a pleasure. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
