Flights to Andros Town, North Andros from NT$12,383

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your vacation in Andros Town. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Andros Town, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
