Flights to Bugala Island, Central Region from NT$31,260

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your time in Bugala Island.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Bugala Island, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
