Flights to Al Khaznah, Abu Dhabi from NT$9,879

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Al Khaznah could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Al Khaznah, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
