Flights to Centre Wellington, Kitchener from NT$4,110

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Centre Wellington. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Centre Wellington in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
