Flights to Bialla, Enga from NT$45,225

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Bialla. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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 or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bialla in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
