Flights to Agricola, Lucedale from NT$38,979

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Agricola could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Agricola, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
