Flights to Briton Ferry, Neath from NT$37,759

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your vacation in Briton Ferry. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Briton Ferry, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will 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 earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
