Flights to Aqaba, Aqaba Governorate from NT$50,422

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Aqaba vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Aqaba in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
