Flights to Bilar, Central Visayas from NT$2,845

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Bilar escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Bilar, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional 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 on board and will be confiscated.
