Flights to Anda, Cuartango from NT$3,524

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Anda vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare 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 baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Anda in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
