Flights to Arano, Navarre from NT$7,638

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Arano escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Arano, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
