Flights to Attard, Central Region from NT$3,658

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Attard. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, 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 sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Attard in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, 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 as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
