Flights to Yona, Guam from NT$9,842

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Yona. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Yona in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. 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 phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
