Flights to Ziordia, Navarre from NT$34,456

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Ziordia escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ziordia before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
