Flights to Azraq, Zarqa Governorate from NT$26,003

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Azraq could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Azraq in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
