Flights to Afula, Northern District from NT$6,358

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Afula escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Afula, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky 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 laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
