Flights to Winklespruit, Kingsburgh from NT$8,023

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Winklespruit could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• 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 and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Winklespruit in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy 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 technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
