Flights to Wix, Manningtree from NT$2,416

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

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Wix a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a 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, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight 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 safely away in your checked baggage.
