Flights to Bell Harbour, Ballyvaughan from NT$40,472

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Bell Harbour escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Bell Harbour easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
